About DTJ PHOTOGRAPHY

DTJ PHOTOGRAPHY

Owner & Lead Photographer

Hey, I’m Daniel. I’m a NY & NJ wedding photographer who incorporates fresh, contemporary techniques to create dramatic portraits for couples on their wedding day. The wedding industry is filled with incredible vendors who want nothing more than for you to have the epic wedding you’ve been dreaming of. But what if you don’t want just the classic and cookie-cutter things that this industry seems to offer? By understanding your needs and tailoring your wedding day coverage to you, I ensure that together we will create an experience that is just as fulfilling as the final image gallery.

My imagery is a combination of cinematic portraiture & true-to-life photos that capture the essence of your story. Combined with experience, professionalism, and amazing clients to work with, I'm able to deliver a stand out product without interrupting amazing wedding experiences.

Choosing our wedding photographer was one of our most important vendor decisions. We wanted a photographer who was versatile enough to capture emotional moments and convey our wedding day through a story. We spent hours researching photographers, but when exploring a wedding expo, we had the opportunity to meet Daniel as he was advertising DTJ Photography. Even though it was a hectic day meeting tons of other photographers, we walked away from the expo impressed with Daniel's knowledge and artistic perspective. We were very specific with wanting a photographer to capture photographs in a moody candlelit ambiance, and after seeing Daniel's gallery we were positive he could capture our vision. After booking with DTJ, we were so impressed with his thoughtfulness and communication. Our engagement shoot session was the best way to not only get the perfect photos to share with our loved ones but to also work with Daniel and get any wedding day jitters out of the way. Our engagement photography session was invaluable as he taught us how to pose and helped us gained confidence in front of the camera. On the wedding day, Daniel and his team (Nelson and John) were a calm and commanding presence which made getting through our lengthy photo list effortless, even when we had our large extended family portraits. The entire day went without a hitch as Daniel, Nelson, and John brought an extremely positive energy that kept our spirits high throughout our wedding day. We felt that they were able to holistically, purely, and dynamically capture our wedding day. All of our photos are absolutely breathtaking: the details, our first look, formal portraits, bridal party features, and fun dance floor shots are all so meticulously captured. So many of our friends and family said we look like models or should be on the cover Vogue. We cannot express how ecstatic we are with the photos we will have for the rest of our lives. If you're looking for an authentic and charismatic person who is a versatile photographer that can capture unique moments and convey your wedding day through a story like we were, Daniel is the man!

Short Version: BOOK DTJ Photography NOW! Seriously, stop searching, stop second-guessing, and get ready for the most STUNNING photos ever with Daniel from DTJ Photography! Long Version: Choosing a wedding photographer was one of the biggest decisions we made—we wanted someone who could capture every emotion, every special moment, and every little detail in the most beautiful way possible. After endless research, scrolling through instagram posts, and reading reviews, we finally found DTJ Photography at a NJ Wedding Expo. And let me tell you— despite the craziness of Expos it was hands down the BEST decision we made because it brought us to Daniel! One of the best parts of working with Daniel was the engagement photo session prior to the wedding. It wasn’t just about getting beautiful photos (which, of course, we did!)—it was an amazing way to get comfortable in front of the camera and learn how to take direction. Daniel made the entire experience fun and effortless, helping us shake off any nerves and feel natural in every pose. By the time the wedding day came, we felt so much more relaxed and confident, and it truly showed in our photos! On the big day, Daniel was more than just a photographer—he was a calming presence, a hype person, and a true professional who knew exactly how to capture the magic of every moment. And the photos? Absolutely breathtaking. Every time we look at them, we’re transported right back to that incredible day. The raw emotions, the laughter, the happy tears, the epic dance floor moments—he captured it all so perfectly. Our family and friends keep telling us they look like something straight out of a magazine! If you’re debating who to book—stop now. This is your sign. Daniel at DTJ Photography is everything you could want in a wedding photographer and more. BOOK HIM NOW—you will be so, so glad you did!
You won't be disappointed

Working with Daniel and his team was hands down the best experience I've ever had and would recommend him without any thought. Daniel is definitely a guru at his craft. During my consultation with him I explained I wanted to be relive the moment everytime I looked at my photos and he did just that. He suggested a few locations he thought would deliver what I wanted and he was right. Not only did he pay attention to the small details of the shots but he worked so well with my 2 year old whom I was nervous about cooperating during the session. THANK YOU Daniel for delivering and allowing my husband and I to relive our wedding day every time we look at out photos. This is definitely your calling.
Event of the year!!!

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of working with DJ for both my engagement and wedding photos, and I couldn't be happier with the results. DJ exhibited stellar professionalism throughout the entire process. His guidance and direction during the photoshoots were exceptional. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and his creative suggestions ensured that every shot was stunning. I have no doubt that I will choose DJ again in the future for any special moments that need capturing. His talent and dedication to his craft are truly commendable, and I wholeheartedly recommend his services to anyone seeking a top-notch photographer. Thank you, DJ, for beautifully capturing our cherished memories!
